About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. My bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries was received from Valley Forge Christian College, Woodbridge, VA, and the master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA.

My experience as a professional counselor spans 8 years; life-long service experience includes volunteering in evangelical, community and social environments. The theories of cognitive or dialectical behavioral therapy are taught to the client and supported by techniques like reframing negative thoughts, identification of triggers, and relaxation methods. Clients are encouraged to practice at home using worksheets, bibliotherapy-reading, games, exercise activities, evangelical and scholastic materials.

My experience includes serving people from all walks of life. With Find A Therapist my client demographic are individuals from 18-100. My experience and areas of expertise are noted as well. I use the techniques of trauma-based cognitive behavioral, addiction related supports to facilitate recovery from alcohol and drug's. By providing a comprehensive counseling service I am able to support the patient’s success and affect long-term behavioral, emotional/social balance. These influences guide the client to greater life functionality. My knowledge of mental health issues and their impact on the whole person are pivotal to improved mental health. I treasure the ability to remain flexible, express a professional attitude, and present genuine regard to each client that opens the door to deep therapeutic alliances.
